CORRECTION Agriculture Career and Internship Fair set Feb. 21 not new to the community having worked for the li- brary for a little more than three years, Goodwin said. "The neat thing about Todd is he completed his (Masters in Library Sci- ences) online while work- ing full-time for us," Good- win said. "He learned a lot about our system, got to know our community and is somewhat of a local guy having gone to high school in Redding." The selection process was competitive, but the decision to go with Deck was unanimous, Goodwin said. "Thank you," Deck said. "I'm just really excited for the opportunity and it's re- ally a reflection of all the hard work that the staff and the volunteers of the Tehama County Library have been doing. I cannot wait to see what the new li- brary can do and the ser- vices we can offer for Corn- ing, Red Bluff and Los Mo- linos." Deck encouraged com- munity members to come check out the library, as it is as an "active and vibrant library," to check out how the staff is preparing for the move and to say good- bye to the Madison Street location. "It's a beautiful, senti- mental building and the new space is going to be just a state-of-the-art fa- cility that's so special and such a great gift to the en- tire community and I'm honored to be working there," Deck said. In anticipation of the move, talks have begun with Shasta College over opportunities, such as an ESL class that has al- ready been scheduled and will be offered Tuesday through Friday for one to two hours a day. There are plans to host a US citizen- ship class and GED prepa- ration class. The library would like to have a special story hour during finals week for chil- dren of parents who need some time to study, Deck said. "It's really an exciting time that we're going to be so close to (the college) and able to utilize both services to better serve our community," Deck said. Librarian FROM PAGE 1 PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER. Thankyou! the project, according to a staff report accompanying the agenda. The Tehama County Jail expansion would be cheaper due to the proximity to the existing facilities. The original cost to op- erate the facility was ex- pected to be about $2 million with $1.1 million going to Sheriff's Depart- ment staffing for the sher- iff, a lieutenant, one ser- geant, 12 correctional of- ficers and two additional kitchen staff. An addi- tional $560,000 was al- lotted for Health Services Agency staff that runs the medical portion, including a mental health clinician, clinical supervisor, drug and alcohol counselor, bi- lingual drug and alcohol aid, two institutional reg- istered nurses and a med- ical assistant. Additional money was set aside for utilities. "The question does come up, and I know Supervisor Dennis Garton has brought it up more than once, the thought of what is it really going to cost us to operate this facility," Goodwin said. "The proposal we turned in was just a snapshot in time. The $10,000 to $15,000 might be quite timely and worthwhile to have some- thing like (Shasta County's) that is much more extensive at what it costs for the fa- cility for multiple years so we can make a decision prior to proceeding with the purchase of Madison Street and fully accepting the money from the state." Tehama County is in the process of negotiating with the city over right of way for Madison Street with plans to reroute it for the expan- sion. The county was awarded $20 million through the state grant, which is the maximum amount allotted for a small county, Good- win said. Jail FROM PAGE 1 ite guy," he said then. Nearly a half-century af- ter the slayings, parole pan- els have decided four times that Davis is no longer a public safety risk. The offi- cials cited his age and good behavior behind bars that includes earning a doctoral degree and ministering to other inmates. Gov. Jerry Brown re- jected the most recent rec- ommendation last year. Gov. Arnold Schwarzeneg- ger also concluded in re- jecting another recommen- dation that Davis remains too dangerous to be free. "Hopefully we'll get five in a row, but it really doesn't mean much unless the gov- ernor lets him go and I see no reason to think he's go- ing to change his mind," said attorney Michael Beck- man, who has been fighting for years for the release of Davis. Beckman said Davis is the most rehabilitated prisoner among the 2,000 he is representing in the penal system. "There's no one even a close second," he said. Gary Hinman's cousin, Kay Martley, said Davis' crime was so heinous that he should die in prison. Hinman was tortured for three days, she recounted in remarks prepared for the parole hearing. "This wasn't a crime of passion or impulse; this was slow, calculated and cold- blooded," she wrote. Davis was convicted with Manson and another follower, Steve Grogan, in the two slayings. Grogan was paroled in 1985 after he led police to Shea's bur- ied body. Robert Beauso- leil, convicted in Hinman's death, remains in prison. Manson and followers Leslie Van Houten, Patricia Krenwinkel and Charles "Tex" Watson are impris- oned for the Tate killings. Their co-defendant, Susan Atkins, died of cancer be- hind bars in 2009.

Tehama District Fair and other events at the fair- grounds, including the Red Bluff Bull & Gelding Sale and the Red Bluff Round- up Rodeo, which created a total spending impact of about $8,522,000 on the lo- cal economy. Fairgoers spent money on tickets, food, carnival rides and other fair prod- ucts and services, while fair organizers, concessionaires and commercial exhibitors spent money on supplies, lodging and meals, accord- ing to the study. Many spent this money in the commu- nity while here for the fair. Together, direct and indi- rect ripple effect spending represent a significant eco- nomic impact. The study provided vi- tal statistics on the Te- hama District Fairground. Owned and operated by the 30th District Agricultural Association, it is 110 acres and has 10 major build- ings providing more than 207,000 square-feet of pub- lic event space with the con- veniences of on-site parking for 5,500 vehicles. The fairground is des- ignated as a Strategic Na- tional Stockpile site and is used by emergency services agencies in times of need as well. It further states fairs provide educational op- portunities through groups such as 4-H and FFA for lo- cal youth. The state plans to con- tinue to assess and moni- tor the economic impact of fairground events, as the last study was done in 2003, and to provide relevant in- formation to fairground organizers, elected officials and interested community representatives. Fair FROM PAGE 1 DAILY NEWS FILE PHOTO Students enjoy a carnival ride at the final Tehama District Fair Education Day. By Alan Fram and Richard Lardner The Associated Press WASHINGTON Republi- cans jammed two of Pres- ident Donald Trump's top Cabinet picks through the Senate Finance Committee with no Democrats in the room Wednesday after sus- pending a rule that would have otherwise barred them from taking the vote. The tactic seemed a warning shot that they might deploy brute political muscle in the upcoming fight over the Su- preme Court vacancy. With a near-toxic vapor of divisiveness between the two parties across Capi- tol Hill, nasty showdowns broke out elsewhere as well. One Senate panel signed off on Trump's choice for attor- ney general only after sen- ators exchanged heated words, and another com- mittee postponed a vote on the would-be chief of the Environmental Protection Agency after Democrats re- fused to show up. Busting through a Demo- cratic boycott of the Finance panel, all 14 Republicans took advantage of Demo- crats' absence to temporar- ily disable a committee rule requiring at least one Dem- ocrat to be present for votes. They then used two 14-0 roll calls to approve finan- cier Steve Mnuchin for Trea- sury secretary and Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., to be health secretary, ignoring Demo- crats' demands that the two nominees provide more in- formation about their finan- cial backgrounds. All the nominations will need full Senate approval. Underscoring Congress' foul mood, Finance panel Chairman Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said Democrats should be "ashamed" for staying away from his com- mittee's meeting. "I don't feel a bit sorry for them," he told report- ers, adding later, "I don't care what they want at this point." Trump won one major victory, as the Senate con- firmed Rex Tillerson to be secretary of state. The mostly party-line 56-43 vote came with Democrats crit- ical of Tillerson's close ties to Russia as former Exxon Mobil CEO. But the prospects that GOP donor Betsy DeVos would win approval as edu- cation secretary were jarred when two GOP senators, Su- san Collins of Maine and Alaska's Lisa Murkowski, said they opposed her. Both challenged her support for public education, and their defections meant Vice Presi- dent Mike Pence might need to break a tie in a Senate that Republicans control 52-48. Congress' day was dom- inated by confrontation, even as lawmakers braced for an even more ferocious battle over Trump's nomi- nation of conservative fed- eral judge Neil Gorsuch to fill the Supreme Court va- cancy. Democrats were al- ready furious over Repub- licans' refusal to even con- sider last year President Barack Obama's pick for the slot, Judge Merrick Gar- land. Trump fueled the fire by urging Senate Major- ity Leader Mitch McCon- nell, R-Ky., to "go nuclear" — shorthand for a unilat- eral change in the cham- ber's rules so Democrats can't block Gorsuch with a filibuster. Without a rules change, Republicans will need at least eight Democrats to reach the 60-votes neces- sary to halt filibusters, or endless procedural delays. Democrats boycot- ted Wednesday's abruptly called Finance Commit- tee meeting, as they'd done for a session a day earlier. They say Price and Mnuchin have lied about their finan- cial backgrounds and must answer more questions. "It's deeply troubling to me that Republicans on the Finance Committee chose to break the rules in the face of strong evidence of two nominees' serious ethical problems," said the panel's top Democrat, Ron Wyden of Oregon. Democrats say Price had special access to low-priced shares in an Australian biomed firm, even though he testified the offer was available to all investors. They say Mnuchin ran a bank that processed home foreclosures with a process critics say invites fraud.
